When they added COSMIC, it was a little more than a modified GNOME environment; however, they began to realise that they&#8217;d be better off making their own from scratch using Rust.<\/p>\n<p>As such, in December of 2025, the developers began stripping COSMIC of its GNOME apps, but they didn&#8217;t quite get every tool. Now, with a new COSMIC Epoch update, the team has removed another GNOME remnant in its quest to make COSMIC its own thing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cosmic-epoch-1-1-0-gets-rid-of-the-gnome-system-monitor\">\n                        COSMIC Epoch 1.1.0 gets rid of the GNOME System Monitor<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>Over on the COSMIC GitHub, the development team, System76, revealed the release of COSMIC Epoch 1.1.0.
